As promised, here are the alternatives I recommend for coffee… Caffeinated substitutes for coffee * Black tea - my personal favorite is Earl Grey * Pu’er tea * Chai - another favorite but look out for the sugar content * Green tea * White tea - contains the least caffeine amongst all the teas * Yerba mate * Matcha - I typically make a latte in the afternoon, love the DoMatcha brand) * MUD\WTR - this was my cherished morning ritual with 1/7th the caffeine of coffee (I had o stop because it’s too high in oxalates for me, it contains cacao) Non-caffeine options * Lion’s mane * Rasa Bold * Dandelion root tea like Dandy Blend (some people report being sensitive to the barley even though it’s gluten free) * Decaf Organic Coffee (Swiss Water Process or Mountain Water Process) * Brewed Cacao like Criobru or Choffy * Rooibos (red bush tea) * Bone Broth * Golden Milk * Herbal teas (red clover taste pretty close to black tea; roasted dandelion and chicory root are great, too)
